Lasco 401249 (401-249) Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Tee – 2" Slip x 2" Slip x 1" Slip (Socket) – White The Lasco 401249 (401-249) is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee used to branch a 1" line off a 2" PVC run. It features slip (socket) connections on all three ends for solvent-weld installation, making it a clean, serviceable way to build equipment pad manifolds, add return/suction branches, or plumb auxiliary lines on pool, spa, and irrigation systems. Key Features Part Number: 401249 (often shown as 401-249) Fitting Type: Reducing Tee Size: 2" x 2" x 1" Ends: Slip (socket) x Slip (socket) x Slip (socket) Material: Schedule 40 PVC Color: White Max temperature (typical): 140°F Common Uses Branching a 1" line from a 2" main line on pool/spa equipment pads Manifolds for water features, bypass loops, or auxiliary plumbing runs Irrigation and general water plumbing where solvent-weld PVC fittings are used Installation Notes Solvent-weld sockets: Use PVC primer and PVC cement rated for pressure plumbing. Dry-fit first: Confirm alignment and clearance before gluing. Full insertion: Mark pipe insertion depth and seat pipe fully into the socket while cement is wet. Support the run: Add pipe supports to reduce stress that can lead to leaks or cracking over time. Cure time: Allow proper cure time before pressurizing (varies by cement type, temperature, and humidity).

After curing, pressure-test the line and check for seepage around joints before backfilling or closing access. Avoid using PVC fittings as structural supports—pipe strain can cause hairline cracking over time. If you expect frequent equipment removal, add unions or a true-union valve nearby to avoid future cutting.
